Year 6 - Primary School - Leaver's Party - Ideas Needed!

I help on the PTFA at my children's school and we are organising a leaving party for the Year 6s (70 10-11 year olds). Normally it is a disco and a buffet - but hoping to jazz it up a bit this year - has anyone been to any good ones or have any good ideas? It must include a chocolate fountain though so my daughter tells me!!!!

theme? glamour and glitz? or a movie theme? glamour and glitz did well at my sons disco..hes 8

How about the old favourite...A couple of weeks before the party, each of the kids brings a photo of when they started school (4/5?). All the pics are numbered get put on a board together. Each child records who they think the pics are of and the one who gets the most correct gets some kind of prize. Also if funds allow - could each of the kids be given a disposable camera to take their own memory photos of the party?

Weve already paid and organised my daughters leaving primary this year , to start several limos come to the school to pick them all up , then a short drive to the beach for photos and a beach barbie , then back in the limos to a disco in a hired hall , only cost £20 per child all in although i dont know whether we get a special discount as it has been the in thing for the last few years .

I'm in the process of organising my son's Year 6 leaving do with red carpet, chocolate fountain, finger buffet, cutlery/crockery, photobooth and disco. In my time, we were given an exercise book from the stationery cupboard which we got everyone to sign in the playground. After school, we were a bit rebellious and got our school shirts signed and threw eggs, flour and milk at each other.....the good old days!!
